phutoie2 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just been on Channel 3 morning news show, a Thai wedding, - 10 million Baht sin sot & 40 Baht gold. Young farang and his Surin girlfriend. Impressive wedding, groom riding on decorative elephant to the family home. Perhaps I should have put this in the cheap charlie topic currently running.

Briggsy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I like the paper just names him as "Farang", priceless, but goes into great detail about the opulence of the ceremony. Edited January 11, 2012 by Briggsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Never understood, (or rather never previously bothered to find out), about this 40 baht gold thing. Somebody kindly explain? You go to the gold shop. You buy x baht of gold. (1 baht of gold costs around 24000 Baht. It is a unit of weight, like a carat) You give the gold to your new mother-in-law. That's about it.
